Owning a home in Austin feels harder than ever. Rents keep climbing, competition is fierce, and many young professionals feel like buying is out of reach.
The problem? Every month you keep renting, you’re helping your landlord build wealth instead of building your own. Fast forward five or ten years, and you could be looking back at hundreds of thousands of dollars gone — wishing you started sooner.
That’s where I come in. I’m Kyle Nussen, a Texas REALTOR® with JB Goodwin REALTORS® and host of The ATX Project. My mission is simple: help Austin’s young professionals escape the rent trap, buy their first home with confidence, and leverage real estate as a tool for financial freedom.
Through personalized guidance, smart investing strategies (like house hacking), and deep knowledge of Austin’s neighborhoods, I’ll help you find a home that fits your lifestyle and builds your future.
Like many of my clients, I started out renting and wondering how I’d ever afford a home in Austin. My journey into real estate began when I discovered house hacking — a strategy that allows you to use your primary residence to generate rental income. It completely changed how I viewed money, housing, and wealth-building.
That “aha” moment is what led me to become a REALTOR®. Today, I’m passionate about helping others create the same path to financial freedom through real estate.
When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me traveling the world with my wife Aleks, exploring the best food spots in Austin, or hanging out with our two cats, Winnie and Waffles.
Whether you’re buying your first home, relocating to Austin, or ready to invest, I offer a range of services designed to make the process seamless:

The ATX Project is more than just a name — it’s a movement. I created it because I believe Austin is one of the best cities in America for young professionals to build wealth through real estate.
Too many people here are caught in the rent trap — paying high rents, feeling squeezed, and watching their money disappear each month with nothing to show for it. My vision is to change that.
Through The ATX Project, I provide education, tools, and strategies to help Austin’s young professionals:
Break free from the cycle of renting
Buy their first home with confidence
Use creative approaches like house hacking to reduce costs or even generate income
Build long-term wealth and financial freedom
House hacking is at the core of this mission because it changes the rules. Instead of waiting until you’ve “made it” to invest, you can start the journey with your very first home. Rent out a spare bedroom, add an ADU in the backyard, or purchase a duplex — and suddenly, your home isn’t just where you live, it’s also an income-producing asset.
Just imagine eliminating your biggest monthly expense. What doors would that open for you? More travel? More time for family? The freedom to pursue a career you love?
This isn’t just about buying property in Austin. It’s about investing in your future, your freedom, and your dreams.
